Robotics in ehealth 2021
This document discusses robotics in healthcare and different robotic devices used in surgery. It begins by introducing robotics in ehealth and its role in improving patient outcomes. It then discusses how robots function in ehealth by relieving medical staff and making procedures safer. Several examples of robotic devices are provided, including ones used for surgical procedures like coronary bypass and hip replacement. The document also explores how robots are used for sterilization, UV-C disinfection, and handling of COVID-19 patients. Top robotic surgery systems and various impacts of robots in daily life are summarized at the end.
Gynecological surgical emergencies
1) The document summarizes various gynecological surgical emergencies including acute vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain, infections, and post-operative complications.
2) It describes ovarian torsion in detail including causes, pathophysiology, signs and symptoms, diagnosis, and management focusing on the importance of detorsion to preserve ovarian tissue.
3) It also outlines the diagnosis and treatment of potentially life-threatening complications like necrotizing fasciitis, emphasizing the need for immediate surgical debridement and broad-spectrum antibiotics to manage this infection.
Cystic hygroma
Cystic hygroma (CH), also known as cystic lymphangioma, is a benign cystic lesion of the lymphatic system that most commonly affects the head and neck region in children. It presents as soft, painless masses of cysts and can cause complications if it impinges on surrounding structures. Treatment involves complete surgical excision when possible, though this is not always feasible due to the involvement of critical structures. Other options include sclerotherapy or watchful waiting for asymptomatic cases. CH is associated with genetic conditions like Down syndrome and its cause involves abnormalities in lymphatic development and connections.
Fast
- The document discusses FAST (Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma), which is an ultrasound examination used to quickly assess potential injuries in trauma patients. It examines four areas: the pericardial sac, right upper quadrant, left upper quadrant, and pelvis to check for blood.
- FAST has advantages of being portable, rapid, inexpensive, and allowing for early diagnosis. However, it has disadvantages like operator variability and potential for false negatives if less than 300ml of fluid is present. CT may be needed if FAST is negative but other indications suggest injury. Focused ultrasound can also detect hemothorax and pneumothorax.
prenatal care
This document discusses physiological changes during pregnancy and objectives of prenatal care. It covers changes to major body systems as well as signs and symptoms of pregnancy. Prenatal care aims to discuss pregnancy and fetal well-being, complications, and involves regular checkups with physical exams, lab tests, ultrasound and other screening tests to monitor maternal and fetal health. The goal is healthy adaptation to the psychological, physical and developmental tasks of pregnancy.

Newborn Emergencies
This document provides an overview of newborn resuscitation for EMS personnel. It discusses the physiology of transition from fetal to newborn life, initial care of the newborn including maintaining airway and temperature control, and assessment of respiration, heart rate and color. It describes providing positive pressure ventilation and chest compressions if needed. Medications like epinephrine may be administered through the umbilical vein. Specific conditions that could require resuscitation are reviewed. The key is providing minimal intervention as most newborns will respond to ventilation and warming, with chest compressions and epinephrine rarely needed.
Preventative Prenatal Care
This document proposes a policy to expand preventative prenatal care coverage in the United States. It finds that the U.S. has high rates of infant and pregnancy-related mortality compared to other developed nations. This is partly due to many women not receiving adequate prenatal care due to costs. The document evaluates three potential policy options and recommends expanding coverage of preventative prenatal care services to include no cost-sharing for patients. This option would encourage earlier and more frequent prenatal care, reducing mortality rates and healthcare costs over the long run.
Prenatal[3]
This document provides an overview of prenatal care, including when it should begin, what is assessed at prenatal visits, common tests and screenings, risk factors, and how high-risk pregnancies are managed. Prenatal care aims to monitor the health of the mother and fetus, identify potential complications, educate the patient, and promote a healthy pregnancy outcome. Key components of prenatal visits include assessment of gestational age, physical exam, labs, history, abdominal exam checking fundal height and fetal heart tone.
Pericardial compressive syndromes
This document provides information on cardiac tamponade, including its pathophysiology, clinical features, diagnostic testing, and treatment. Cardiac tamponade is characterized by fluid accumulation in the pericardial space, which increases intracardiac pressures and reduces ventricular filling. Key signs include pulsus paradoxus, elevated jugular venous pressure, and echocardiographic findings of right heart chamber collapse. Treatment involves urgent pericardiocentesis or surgery to drain fluid and relieve pressure on the heart.
Gynaecological emergency
This document discusses the case of a 31-year-old woman, G3P2, who presented at 12 weeks and 1 day post-amnenorrhea with a suspected molar pregnancy. Ultrasound findings showed multiple cysts in the uterine cavity with no fetal echo, and her hCG level was 7513 IU/ml. She was diagnosed with a leaking ectopic pregnancy and underwent a laparoscopic left salpingectomy. Intraoperatively, 700cc of hemoperitoneum was found along with a left tubal ectopic pregnancy, while the right fallopian tube and ovaries were normal. The patient was discharged well with advice on contraception.
Female Reproductive System
The female reproductive system includes both external and internal organs. The external organs are the labia, clitoris, and Mons pubis. The internal organs are the vagina, cervix, uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. One disease that affects this system is HPV. HPV is commonly transmitted sexually and can cause genital warts or cancers like cervical cancer. While HPV cannot be cured, vaccination and safe sexual practices can help prevent transmission. Regular cervical cancer screening is also important for detecting any cell changes early.
Prenatal care
The document discusses the importance of prenatal care for pregnant females. It explains that prenatal care involves deciding on a healthcare provider, the place of birth, and regular checkups. During checkups, the pregnant female receives physical exams, blood tests, and learns how to ensure the health of the baby. The document also outlines proper nutrition during pregnancy and discusses avoiding harmful substances like tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs which can negatively impact fetal development. Some potential pregnancy complications mentioned include miscarriage and stillbirth. Overall, the document emphasizes that prenatal care is important for reducing health risks for both mother and baby.
Blunt trauma in pregnancy
This document discusses blunt trauma in pregnancy. It covers the demographics of trauma in pregnancy, noting that trauma is the leading cause of non-obstetric maternal death. It also discusses the anatomy changes that occur during pregnancy and how that impacts maternal physiology, such as increased blood volume and cardiac output. The document outlines special considerations for the initial resuscitation and assessment of a pregnant trauma patient, including early gastric decompression due to decreased gastric motility and positioning to avoid compressing the vena cava.

This document provides information about the female reproductive system. It describes both the external organs, such as the vulva, labia, clitoris, and vestibule, and the internal organs, including the vagina, uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. It also discusses the role of hormones in reproduction and development of the embryo from fertilization through organogenesis. The document concludes by describing the accessory breast organ and the role of oxytocin in parturition.Maternal Physiology Lecture
This document summarizes the normal physiological changes that occur in various maternal body systems during pregnancy. It describes how the cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, hematologic, gastrointestinal and reproductive systems adapt to accommodate the growing fetus. Key changes include increased blood volume, heart rate and kidney function as well as common symptoms like nausea and backache. Understanding these changes is important for identifying complications and educating patients about normal pregnancy.
Maternal physiology, prenatal care,normal labor and delivery
The document discusses maternal physiology during pregnancy. It covers changes in the reproductive tract, skin, breasts, metabolism, hematological system, and organ systems. Specifically, it notes the uterus grows significantly in size and the cervix softens. Metabolism shifts to support the nutritional needs of the fetus, including increased blood volume, protein and fat levels. The cardiovascular, respiratory, urinary and gastrointestinal systems also undergo changes to accommodate the growing uterus and fetus.
Sign and symptoms of pregnancy & Minor Ailments during pregnancy
The document summarizes the signs and symptoms of pregnancy across the three trimesters. It begins with an introduction to the objectives and definitions of pregnancy. It then discusses the duration of pregnancy and divides it into three trimesters. For each trimester, it outlines the presumptive/subjective signs and the probable/objective signs. It also discusses some minor ailments that can occur during pregnancy, such as supine hypotension syndrome and varicose veins.
163 ch 19_lecture_presentation
This document provides an overview of the male and female reproductive systems through a series of slides from a chapter in a textbook. It begins by listing the learning outcomes for the chapter, which cover the basic components and functions of the reproductive system, as well as gamete production, the hormonal regulation of the systems, and interactions between reproduction and other body systems. The slides then describe key structures like the testes, ovaries, ducts and glands, and their functions in gamete production, hormone secretion, and the development of secondary sex characteristics. Diagrams and figures illustrate these structures.
essential newborn care, careduring 1st-2hr of life
The document discusses essential newborn care including keeping the newborn warm through skin-to-skin contact, early and exclusive breastfeeding within the first hour of birth, eye care through prophylaxis to prevent ophthalmia neonatorum, and clinical assessment of the newborn to check for any problems after delivery. Key interventions like clean delivery, resuscitation if needed, immunization, and management of preterm or low birth weight babies are also described. The goal of essential newborn care is to ensure the health of the newborn during the critical first days and week of life.
Gynecological causes of acute abdominal pain
This document discusses gynecological causes of acute abdominal pain. It begins with an introduction noting that the history and physical exam findings can be nonspecific, so early diagnosis is important. It then covers various causes including pregnancy-related issues, infections, complicated ovarian cysts and fibroids. The systematic approach involves ruling out life-threatening conditions through history, exam, labs and imaging like transvaginal ultrasound. Key points are discussed for evaluating conditions like pelvic inflammatory disease, ovarian torsion and appendicitis. Laparoscopy is rarely needed for diagnosis. An algorithm is provided to guide clinical decision making.
Antenatal care
This document outlines the goals and procedures of antenatal care (ANC). ANC involves regularly monitoring a woman's health and pregnancy through medical examinations and tests. It aims to screen for high-risk cases, detect and treat any complications early, educate mothers on pregnancy and labor, and ensure the delivery of a healthy baby. Key aspects of ANC include registration, medical history, physical exams including weight and blood pressure checks, and laboratory tests. Women are advised to attend 4 ANC visits with the timing and tests varying at each visit. The document also provides guidance on diet, hygiene, exercise, rest and other lifestyle factors during pregnancy.
Obstetrics and Gynecology
This document provides guidance on managing obstetric and gynecological emergencies in the field. It discusses predelivery evaluations, normal delivery procedures, complications like preterm birth and meconium, and abnormal deliveries involving issues like breech presentation or prolapsed cords. It also addresses managing vaginal bleeding, trauma to external genitalia, and sexual assault, emphasizing comprehensive patient assessment, care, and timely transportation to a hospital. Review questions assess knowledge on dealing with predelivery issues, abnormal deliveries, and handling sexual assault incidents.
Emergency Obstertrics & Gynecology
This document summarizes key aspects of obstetrics and gynecology emergencies. It discusses abnormal vaginal bleeding, acute pelvic pain, approaches to taking medical history and conducting physical exams for women with acute problems, common gynecologic emergencies like ectopic pregnancy and pelvic inflammatory disease, obstetric emergencies including antepartum hemorrhage from placenta previa or abruption, complications of preeclampsia, postpartum hemorrhage, acute abdomen during pregnancy, and cardiac arrest during pregnancy. The role of the physician in communication is also addressed.
Female rprdctive
The female reproductive system includes external genitalia like the vulva, clitoris, and vaginal opening. Internally it contains the vagina, cervix, uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. The vagina extends from the vulva to the uterus. The uterus contains the cervix below and connects to the fallopian tubes and ovaries. The ovaries produce eggs and are located adjacent to the pelvic wall.
Trauma in pregnancy
Pregnant women face unique challenges when experiencing trauma. Evaluation of a pregnant trauma patient requires consideration of both the mother and fetus as patients. Knowledge of anatomical and physiological pregnancy changes is important for proper evaluation and management. Minor trauma can still result in adverse fetal outcomes, so even seemingly minor injuries should be evaluated. The fetus is particularly at risk from placental abruption, preterm labor, and reduced blood flow resulting from maternal injury. Proper management of trauma in pregnancy aims to stabilize both patients.

Some of the key findings included variable access to and uptake of immediate breast reconstruction among cancer networks, a lack of information provided to mastectomy-only patients, low complication rates but some unacceptable pain levels and outcomes, and challenges in standardizing oncoplastic breast surgery and following patient outcomes long-term.
Endovascular repair of traumatic aortic transection six years of experience
This document discusses endovascular repair as an alternative treatment for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms compared to open repair. Endovascular repair has the benefits of avoiding general anesthesia, clamping, and blood loss. Several studies show endovascular repair results in lower mortality and morbidity rates compared to open repair. However, patient hemodynamic status and anatomy must meet certain criteria for endovascular repair to be feasible. Key considerations for successful endovascular repair include the patient's clinical condition, CT imaging of anatomy, type of anesthesia used, stent graft configuration, and potential use of an occlusion balloon. Long-term data is still needed but endovascular repair shows promise as an additional treatment option for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurys
SURGICAL MANAGEMENT OF CERVICAL CANCER DR. NN CHAVAN 28102023.pptx
Cervical cancer arises from persistent HPV infection and progresses through defined stages. Treatment depends on cancer stage, with radical hysterectomy for early stages and chemoradiation for advanced stages. Surgery aims to remove the cervix, uterus, and surrounding tissues while preserving organs. Complications include bleeding, fistulas and organ injury. Adjuvant radiation improves local control for high-risk cancers. Screening and HPV vaccination allow for early detection and primary prevention, improving outcomes.

This document summarizes a presentation on the radial approach for PCI procedures. It provides evidence from randomized trials and observational studies showing that the radial approach significantly reduces bleeding complications compared to the femoral approach, with a nearly 80% reduction in major bleeding events. The radial approach also reduces the need for blood transfusions. While early death rates were similar between the two approaches in randomized trials, the observational studies suggested a potential 20% reduction in mortality with the radial approach. The presentation concludes that transradial access provides benefits for physicians, health systems, and patients, and its use is expected to continue increasing significantly in the coming years.

3. Anatomy of the liver, gallbladder and bile ducts, kidneys, pancreas, and spleen are described along with common pathologies examined with ultrasound for each organ.
Physics of ultrasound
Ultrasound uses high frequency sound waves to image internal structures. It works by sending sound waves into the body which bounce off tissues and organs, creating echoes. The echoes are detected and used to produce images on screen. Key physics principles include velocity, wavelength, frequency and amplitude of the sound waves. How the waves interact with different tissues through reflection, transmission, scattering and attenuation impacts image quality. Resolution, beamforming and processing power determine how well an ultrasound system can distinguish between tissues. Doppler and colour Doppler utilize the Doppler effect to evaluate blood flow velocity and direction to provide functional information.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort. Skin Diseases That Happen During Summer.
Summer is a time for fun in the sun, but the heat and humidity can also wreak havoc on your skin. From itchy rashes to unwanted pigmentation, several skin conditions become more prevalent during these warmer months.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.
